Abstract
The revolving engine has a main characteristic of evenly distributing and arranging multiple sets of cylinders horizontally and radially. Moreover, such cylinders are connected together as a unit, thus horizontally revolving as a whole on a fixed central axis. The piston rods all share the same rod journal of the crankshaft allowing the revolving cylinders to share the same plane. When the cylinder body revolves, the pistons slide forward and backward inside the cylinder. The controlling of intake and exhaust is achieved through the differential cam module that revolves around the main journal of the crankshaft. The differential gear ratio of the cam module produces relative differential movement along with the revolving of the cylinder, precisely timing the stroke cycle and the opening and closing of the valves.
Claims4
A revolving engine comprising:
- a central axis, crankshaft, which is vertically fixed;
- a rod journal, which is set in the preset height on the crankshaft;
- piston rods, which offset staggers to rotate on the same plane, each rod consisting of two mounting connections for mounting on the main journal;
- several sets of cylinders, which are horizontally and radially distributed, the cylinders in this instance forming a framework with the mutual angle being 120° for the triple sets, and being jointed together on the main journal through the cylinder support brackets, so that the cylinders can horizontally revolve as a whole around the central axis as the common pivot;
- intake/exhaust valves, which are set on the external side of each cylinder;
- a piston, which is installed in each cylinder;
- an intake/exhaust control cam, cam gear, pivoting around the circumferential of the sun gear via the planet gears with an intake control cam and an exhaust control cam installed on its outside;
- and
- a differential module, which consists of the intake/exhaust control cam that will produce rotational movement with a preset differential movement as the gears within the module rotate;
- and pushrods, which are assembled between the intake/exhaust valves and the cam lobes of the cam gear.
A revolving engine, comprising several cylinders, wherein the cylinders are distributed horizontally and radially, and are connected and fixed into an integrated assembly, and capable of revolving as a whole around the main journal;
- the central axis on the crankshaft.
